Flanders Red Ale

Flanders red ale is a style of beer that originated in the Flanders region of Belgium. It is known for its deep reddish-brown color and complex flavor profile, which includes fruity, tart, and sometimes vinegary notes. The beer is typically brewed with a mix of malt and aged in wooden barrels, allowing wild yeasts and bacteria to develop its unique taste over time. Flanders red ales are usually slightly sour, balanced with sweetness from caramel malts, making them refreshing and intriguing. They pair well with rich foods and are often enjoyed as a sipping beer due to their complexity.
